Lyrics And So It Goes - Matthew Ryan

I can't bear the thought of ever going back
My head was full of nails my heart was broke and black
I never understood that glimmering you chased
I found it useless so i turned and walked away

Where were you when the sun went down
Where were you when that sense of loss left town
I don't care if you're worried now
It's too late

The wind blew through the square last night like haunted souls
Flags were snapping hard and rattling their poles
I drove down third street and it felt like i was gone
The ghosts of things we said were smoking on the lawn

Where were you when the sun went down
Where were you when all that hope left town
I don't care if you want me now
It's too late
It's too late

And so it goes
Watch it go
Watch it go
And you won't know
Until you know

I hold no grudge no more though i did for a couple of years
The hate you harbor only welcomes what you fear
I wrote this song while the sun fell behind the hill
The stars look cold but there's a warm light on the sill

Where were you when the sun went down
Where were you when that sense of loss left town
I don't care if you want me now
It's too late
It's too late
